The England and Wales Cricket Board have released the match programme for England's series against Bangladesh and Pakistan for the 2010 season. In a break with tradition, the Test series against Pakistan will finish at Lord's rather than the Oval.

England will also play a one-day international against Scotland in June, before a five-match series against Australia.

Australia and Pakistan will contest a Test series against each other in England next summer. The games were initially scheduled to be played in Pakistan until security concerns forced the matches to be moved.

The Rose Bowl will be the venue for the Twenty20 Finals Day on Saturday 14 August while the final round of Championship matches, to be played from 13-16 September, and the new ECB 40-over final at Lord's on Saturday 18 September will provide the climax to the domestic season.

The ECB have also confirmed England's tour schedule for the winter series in Bangladesh next year. England will play three ODIs followed by two Test matches in Bangladesh.
